Among the programs that Indiana schools and districts can choose from to meet these rigorous learning goals is an array of digital and print K-12 math programs from Pearson that provide full coverage of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics.


Legislation was recently introduced in Indiana to move to all-digital instruction by 2014. With digital math at every grade level, Pearson is prepared to help schools get ahead of the curve with revolutionary programs that are focused on building a solid mathematics foundation that will prepare students for the rigors of college and careers.


"We are prepared to stand side by side with schools throughout the state as they implement the Common Core State Standards," said Pearson's Indiana representative Kevin Meade. "We have new math programs for every grade level that correlate to the new learning goals and are designed to personalize learning for students, as well as help teachers maximize the time they have available for the important job of working directly with their students. And, at every grade level, from kindergarten through high school graduation, we have a digital program that maps to these new learning goals."


He added, "To support educators in Indiana and throughout the country as they prepare to implement the new standards and corresponding assessments, we have also developed extensive teacher professional development offerings and other resources."
